time of year in the san francisco along the coastline. temperatures well below the average in many spots inland. usually in the mid 80's, only 74 in little more today. 74 cochran, 76 degrees in san jose. so one storm system rotating out of the bay area making this way over the rocky mountains. now in yet another one just beginning to rotate in this one. again, very similar to the previous one lacking in a lot of moisture. and so just a chance of some scattered showers or rotates on through. but the clouds moving on by. you felt the cooler temperatures are going to feel that again for tomorrow and maybe a chance of a couple raindrops. you see just off the coastline. this mark out on the low is going to circle in a little bit closer as it gets closer. the coastline, chance of showers, especially along the coastal sections. and i think into the south bay, i think that'll be the best chance some rain you see here on the computer models to overnight tonight, those clouds kind of swinging on through early tomorrow morning for your commute. there you go. a slight chance of a sprinkle or 2 as we head through the day. couple more bands of moisture kind of rotating on through. so you can see it's really widely scattered enough to see a big

11:38 pm
the resolution will make it so east. palo alto can clear on house encampments anytime they deem it unsafe for people to congregate. it would also form a coalition of san mateo county cities to collaborate on sweeping on house encampments, fellow councilors all criticized the mayor's proposal. however, they say the first time they heard about it was from the media and through a press conference, they had no clue that was happening. they called the proposal orwellian and the opposite of compassionate. the mayor's argument for passing it was that winter was coming in that with the recent rainy winters we've had flooding posed a health danger to the unhoused residents in the creeks. one counselor says, though, that if the mayor really was sincere, he would have proposed a solution before his election campaign for the board of supervisors. the first press conference happens. >>and staff was not even aware of it. you haven't even taken the time to talk to the staff. so let them know that you're going to have a press conference. so i question the timing. and what this all means right now. these issues

of the speakers set to go there this week says everything. okay. now is san francisco and reinforce in the conference and you and mark. yeah. well, today in his keynote, he was very complimentary of san francisco of our police officers, our firefighters, our city employees, and how much he appreciates all the hard work we've done to ensure the success of dreamforce and we basically have a strike team for every convention that comes to our city where starting to see more interest and conventions, more people signing contracts and reinforce has more people than it's had since before the pandemic over 45,000 attendees are expected. >>with about 95 million dollars to our local economy restaurants, a book hotels are packed. it is really crowded in downtown right now. but it's amazing. and this is what san francisco does best you would want to >>have lost that conference or have jeopardize that relationship at definitely. and more importantly, for every conference that comes
12:05 am
here and then year-round for the people who also live downtown. we have folks who live down there. we are people who work down there. so the investments that we're making, we have to increase our capacity to get to a place where we are saying, you know, crime, for example, in san francisco is lower than it's been in 10 years. and there's work that we put into making that happen and it is starting to happen even more with our technology. our drones are surveillance, our license plate readers. all of this is having a tremendous impact on how people also feel about crime in our city which said the city just put out these numbers. that crime is down. 32% in 2024, we just did a kron. 4 news emerson college poll about how people feel about crime in the city and then we can put up the pole for you can see the numbers. do you think crime in san francisco is increasing decreasing or staying the same and people feel 44%. basically feel that increasing. despite the numbers almost down 30%. so what's the disconnect between the numbers that we're seeing. i think the disconnect
12:06 am
has a lot to do with, you know, you see stuff on social media. you see stuff on the news all the time. and more importantly, what i hear from people is, you know, like in certain parts of san francisco, they don't feel safe, but they love their neighborhoods and they feel like their neighborhood has been safe. but san francisco is a major city and major cities have challenges. and unfortunately, crime is is a part of that. but when there is something that occurs when i am most proud of is that our police officers are right there to make those arrests that our cameras and our other technology when something happens, it's right there to capture it and to hold someone accountable. our district attorney has been doing a good job. so the pieces are together for helping to address crime and to help address accountability. and we, of course, we don't want it to happen at all in the first place. but when it does, the big difference here is accountability is a part of the equation. and talk about different areas of the city that are dealing with crime. we just had a forty-niners player shot in the chest in
12:07 am
the middle of union swear by allegedly a 17 year-old another poll that we put out there, ask people about. >>do they agree or disagree with union square being a safe place? and the poll said that 41% somewhat agree. and this poll is taken right after the shooting september 5th. so they feel that san francisco, san francisco union square, it's somewhat anyway is safe. but 27% disagree. is it about union square? well, just to be very clear, i mean, the suspect was arrested within less than a minute. >>the district attorney has already filed charges. i mean, things happen the way they should. there's cameras in union square, those police officers. there's retired police officers. there is the support necessary to ensure safety. i was there that night of the shooting to see what was going on. there were places like chateau, monte that were packed with people all the way till midnight. so we know that people are still coming and they feel a certain way. but we also never want
12:08 am
something like that to happen in the first in gun violence is a problem in this country. but here in san francisco, we have one of the lowest violent crime rate of anywhere in the country and also this sends a message that if you come to this city and you expect to get away with something and you commit a kind like this, like in the case up this kid from tracy that came to san francisco and thought he was going to get away with something that's not going to happen. and so that is the work that we're doing. and we're demonstrating to people that accountability is definitely a part of the equation. so the other poll that we want to show you was people approve or disapprove of your job. >>we'll put it up here so you can see it. 51% disapprove. when you think of this report card well means i got a lot more work to do and look, we have been through unprecedented challenge is the mayor passed away in office. i became mayor. we have to deal with a once in 100 years. global pandemic. we have to deal with the spike in crime with a lot of challenges
12:09 am
things that we could have never anticipate because before the pandemic, we were headed down the direction of reforming our police department, criminal justice forms and other things we had to build our capacity to get to where we are. so i'm very proud of all the work that we put in the capacity that we built and where we are as a city. of course. >>this is a major city. it is never going to be 100% what anyone wants. but we always will strive to improve it to make it better. that requires someone who knows what they're doing. who is battle tested and prepared to take on the challenges that come our way. >>i mean, some ways, 28% approve of you. and only one percent of not heard of so maybe we have to do more interviews to get you out there. we got get to that one percent. there. there are some great things happening in the city, including 2 events coming up this friday that you created the state's first entertainment zone. it's here on front street air closing off part of the area and you're allowing these bars and restaurants to serve to-go cocktails. there's also a
12:10 am
concert at again at city hall. again, the last one was kind of off the chain. so these are things you're trying to do to to bring people into the city to have a good time to try change the purse. that perception a little bit. oh, yeah. and its it's not just that is downtown is is becoming something that it has never been. >>fun. it's always been the 95 financial district. and now we're making it a place where you work, where you live and where you play. that's a part of my economic recovery plan by getting to yes and removing barriers it should not be a problem to allow for a workspace and a retail operation to happen at the bottom level of a building. but it is i had to do legislation to remove that barrier. it shouldn't be a problem for us to close off streets and allow for people to walk out of there, restaurants and their bars with drinks in their hands being celebratory. but it was a problem and there were a lot of restrictions. so this is our first entertainment zone of on front street in front of schroders and harrington's. it's going to be really exciting on friday and it's an
12:11 am
opportunity for people to come and have a good time downtown after they finish come on down stairs and enjoy the city between the raves between the nightlife and the fun, the excitement that is really a big part of how san francisco becomes a well rounded city. it's the restaurants, the bars, the nightlife. it's the shopping is all of those things. and we have to make sure we get to yes and make it easier to happen. and have there been any talks about dreamforce not coming back again? are you think be back next i think they'll be back. you know, for a couple years to come maryland breed. thank you for being with us this afternoon. thank you. appreciate when you come in person. >>more the on tuesday,

the bridge fired at the airport fire line fire and looks like that's going to bring some helping conditions for them and then high pressure takes over. so as we get the weekend, we go the other way, these temperatures going to soar. and i think some place to get on the hot side specially into lot of part of the weekend and into next week as high pressure takes over. in fact, long range forecast models saying that we're likely going to see above normal temperatures next week. enjoy the cooler weather while we have a slight chance of some showers early on tomorrow morning. temperatures in sepsis would generally in the 60's 50's and 60's coast side. a better chance of rain drops out toward the beaches as that low kind of swings along the coast about 69 degrees in burlingame. 71 of foster city, 69 degrees in mount some passing clouds into the san jose area. slight chance of a sprinkle there in the morning. temperatures in the 70's by the afternoon as we start to clear out your skies, 73 degrees in pleasanton. 71 in hayward, 75 degrees in walnut creek. and you got those nice numbers further inland that should stay dry in the interior valleys. but yeah, that chance of showers as that low moves on by then we see things go the other direction. high pressure really begins to build upper 80's by saturday.
